To include the following sentence:
“Crucial to finding the way is this: there is no beginning or end"
thing to do. Crucial to finding the way is this: there is no beginning or end. One
is invariably stuck midway. To move forward is equally impossible as to retreating
backward. The idea is to make a start and then move, just move. It is bound to
lead somewhere.It makes it easier then to decide mindfully of the resources available
and the stamina to sustain. It is more to favour going forward. To adopt this
stance is to be progressive going along with prospects of discovery, and fulfilment.
By extension, it is going towards the end, expecting to reach a goal working on a
prospective target. On the contrary to go to the beginning is to be searching for
indications of a likely direction with prospects of keeping on searching.

Merril's at d'Verse: Prosery -finding your way
K.,
ReplyDeleteThere's this sense of the road not taken that keeps us tracing and retracing yet inevitably moving forward.
Pax,

Very reflective writeup, I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, we must keep on searching even if we don't know the way, or we don't have a map!
ReplyDeleteI love the forward motion of your prosery piece! And you are correct, Hank. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteYou've indeed caught the circular feeling.
ReplyDeleteThere is never really a way back I think... going forward is the only option.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right--to move, just move. Otherwise, we're just stuck--and life still goes on around us.
